Hi all,
I ran the Williamsport BBS route today and heard a EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE
singing at stop 43, I waited a few minutes after the stop to document the
bird (photos at link below). The location is Lehman's Mill Road and Marsh
Pike, this is a small neighborhood with very little to no parking, I would
think the best bet would be to drive the roads looking/listening for the
bird. I am not familiar with traffic in the area so please be very very
careful, there are no shoulders. Matt Hafner pointed out that this bird is
less than 5 miles due south of a Pennsylvania population, it would be
interesting to see how many are out there!!
Other excitement came in the form of MOURNING WARBLERs tending to nestlings
on private property in Garrett County. Because of the sensitivity of the
species and the property, I can't give details of the location, but I
thought folks would be happy to know they are still around and successfully
nesting. At Little Meadows Lake, there is a lingering male RING-NECKED
DUCK hanging out with the geese.

Good Birding!
